Chapter Ten: Coffee and Three Men

Spencer woke up long before Natalie the next morning. He somehow managed to get his arms out from around her before he made his way into the kitchen and started the coffee pot.

He turned around when he heard Morgan's voice. "I don't know about you, but after this I'm taking a long vacation".

He raised his eyebrows not sure how he should really respond. Sure he talked to Morgan all the time, on jet rides home, at the office. He even put up with Morgan's teasing. Yes the jokes were quite amusing, but to tell the truth he'd love it if Morgan picked on someone else for a change.

To tell the truth small talk wasn't one of his best attributes. He wasn't quite sure what he could say since after all he was technically living under the same roof with one of his co workers. Not to mention he was living in his girlfriend's house with a coworker that loved to tease him. He guessed that could give anyone a loss for words.

He finally decided that simply nodding his head was the best reaction he could make. He finally spoke up nodding at the coffee pot as he managed to make his way over to the refrigerator"help yourself".

Morgan nodded grabbing an empty cup before speaking up "You know I still need too talk to Natalie. I know it's going to be hard on her Reid, but I need to do it soon".

Spencer let out a reluctant sigh as he closed the fridge door. He knew that the sooner she talked and answered questions the better, but still it didn't feel right. After all she wasn't just a victim she was his best friend and recently his girlfriend.

Part of him wondered why this all had to happen now. Yes everything happened for a reason or thats what people said, but it was still completely inconvenient.

"Hey Reid did you hear me"?

Spencer looked up when he heard Morgan say his name again. He blushed realizing he hadn't responded. "Okay fine. I'll go get her".

He reluctantly made his way back towards her bedroom. He frowned slightly as he entered the room. How was it that her room could be so cheerful when she was going through all this?

He sighed sitting down beside her somehow managing to shake her awake. She frowned up at him blurry eyed and still half asleep "What? What is it"?

He swallowed the lump in his throat as he spoke up "Morgan still needs to talk to you"?

"What does he need to talk to me about? Haven't I given them enough for this to all be over"? She stated as she sat up in bed.

He sighed not surprised that she was getting a bit frustrated with this all. After all they hadn't had one not one break in the past week that they'd had this case.

"He needs to ask you some more questions okay". He responded not sure what else he could tell her.

She nodded her head speaking up again "You'll be in the room with me when he asks right"?

He nodded his head without hesitation "Yes of course I will. Now come on I'll find you some clothes.

She nodded her head getting out of bed and brushing her hair as Spencer managed to rummage through her closet pulling out a pair of jeans and a plain short sleeved yellow shirt.

The two somehow managed to make it out to living room before they took a seat on the couch surprised to see that Morgan was already sitting on the recliner across from the sofa.

They were even more surprised to see three cups of coffee sitting out on the coffee table.

"Yes Reid I put a cup and a half of sugar in yours just how you like it. Natalie I wasn't sure how you took your coffee so I left it as is". Morgan stated rolling his eyes slightly.

Natalie nodded her head muttering out a thank you as she sat down beside Spencer.

She picked up her coffee cup frowning at how bitter it was. She guessed that Spencer had made it. She had figured out that he liked his coffee extra strong the second day he'd stayed with her.

She looked up as Morgan finally spoke up "I have some more questions for you".

She nodded her head listening to him continue "I want you to think and think hard about it. Have you seen anyone at all that struck you as strange? Or maybe someone who maybe seemed really eager to talk to you and only you"?

"I wait on a lot of people. Their all eager to see me". She stated putting her coffee cup back on the table in front of her.

Spencer finally spoke up staring over at his girlfriend "This person wouldn't be like your other customers though. They would come in a lot even if their not buying something".

She widened her eyes speaking up "Theres about three people that I know of that do things like that".

"Well do you know their names"? Morgan stated hoping that they were finally getting somewhere with all this.

She sighed running her hands through her tangled hair. "No. I mean I don't know them by name. I can sort of describe them and tell you some of the very few things they did buy from us".

She spoke up again seeing that no one was going to make a response. "Theres this old man that comes in every Sunday. I think his wife died a few years back, but he still comes in because he claims that she loved antiques. He always wants to talk to me, but Mrs. Richards she always said it was because I remind him of his daughter that doesn't visit him or something".

Spencer nodded his head "Can you describe him"?

"Yeah he's short, white hair, clean shaved. He always wears those old ugly light blue suits from the seventies. You know what I'm talking about right"?

Morgan smiled slightly nodding his head "Yeah I know what your talking about. Leisure suits".

She nodded her head continuing "The other guy is about thirty I guess. Pretty clean cut really tall and always dressed really nicely. I mean like gold rolex watches and gold cuffs nice. He comes in and always wants to look at the jewelery. I always get the weird feeling that he's trying to pick me up or something. I mean I figured he was married or something. He kind of freaks me out though. I mean I'm the only one he'll talk to".

Morgan nodded his head thankful he and Spencer were both taking notes of this all.

She sighed as she talked about the last man "This last guys really weird I mean he looks normal and everything. He's attractive, young, dark hair, very clean cut, but He's really never bought anything. I mean he may of bought something from some other sales person, but he's never bought from me. He always wants to talk to me though. He works for some kind of comerical moving company. They've delivered to us a couple of times, but he comes in when he's off work too".

"Do you remember the name of the company? Or maybe his name"? Spencer stated getting a slight sick feeling in his gut.

"No sorry I really don't remember the name of the company. I think his name tag said Alex M. or maybe Adam M. It was something like that". She stated frowning as she tried to remember.

She looked up as she took another sip from her coffee cup "Is that enough"?

Morgan nodded his head as he pulled out his cell phone "Yeah thats more than enough. I'm going to call Garcia and see if I can get her to look at your receipts and see if any of the people match. I'll get her to look into the moving companies and see if she can find an Alex M. or and Adam M".

Natalie nodded her head hoping that this would end soon.
